Hello.


My wireless works fine.

But I have problems with hostname.rum0.
It looks like file /etc/hostname.rum0 is ignored by rum driver.

My /etc/hostname.rum0:
# cat /etc/hostname.rum0
inet 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect mediaopt hostap
nwid my_net chan 11


When I reboot computer, hostname.rum0 is not loaded to configure rum0
interface.
# ifconfig rum0
rum0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:0e:2e:xx:xx:xx
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect
status: no network
ieee80211: nwid "" 100dBm

Even up and down commands to ifconfig wont help. (ifconfig rum0 down;
ifconfig rum0 up)

I must manualy run tehese commands to start wireless adapter as Access
Point:
# ifconfig rum0 inet 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
# ifconfig rum0 media autoselect mediaopt hostap nwid my_net chan 11
# ifconfig rum0
rum0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:0e:2e:xx:xx:xx
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect hostap (autoselect mode 11b
hostap)
status: active
ieee80211: nwid my_net chan 11 bssid 00:0e:2e:88:98:41 100dBm
inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.0
inet6 fe80::20e:2eff:fe88:9841%rum0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6


I tried this on OBSD 4.0 and 4.1 with two different computers.

--------------------
>From manual:
# man rum
The following hostname.if(5) example creates a host-based access point
on
boot:
inet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect \
mediaopt hostap nwid my_net chan 11
--------------------


What am I doing wrong.

Thank you.

Could you try running /etc/netstart manually and see what happens?
Also, it might be a good idea to give us some idea of what does happen
at start up.
